Warning: The internet is almost full

Article link: Warning: The internet is almost full

In this article, Seth is talking about how full of information the internet is, and how we cannot process it because there's just so much out there.

I realized the point of this article a while ago, when I started using my RSS reader. If I fell a day behind in reading it, I easily lost 50+ posts, and with the mounting school work, it was harder and harder to keep up with the information piling in my inbox.

Expandable bookcase design

This article is about an "expandable bookcase" design, where the bookcase can be stretched out to fit more books, or pushed in to save space.

This is so cool! I think this is an amazingly thoughtful idea, and would be very useful if you plan on starting a library, or something. The only thing is that you'd have to leave that entire space open to the possibility of expansion, so it might look empty.

Book Review: Art & Sole: Contemporary Sneaker Art & Design, by Intercity

Article link: Book Review: Art & Sole: Contemporary Sneaker Art & Design, by Intercity

This article is about a book called Art & Sole, which explores and shows off the "commerce, guerilla art, mass production and customization that is limited edition sneaker design."

I'm actually not a huge fan of shoes, but I do love that, in this society, we're able to use shoes to create art, design, and individuality. My brother is a huge fan of shows, and actually used to want to major in sneaker design, so I'm excited to hear from him about this book.

Autodesk University 2008: Other things you can do with rapid prototyping

This video features examples of rapid prototyping, including casting positives and the actual finished products. I know I have no idea what they're talking about here, so I'm not even going to pretend to understand, but last year, when I took my course in 3D Design, we were asked to find packaging and cast positives of it in plaster. After the cool designs from everyone in the class, I think it's always interesting to see what the positives are.

iPhone case enables the blind to access touchscreens

This article is about an iPhone case for the blind, that would allow them to access applications and type.

I still love that people are coming up with ideas for the impaired to use technology. This is such a great looking skin too. Of course, it would probably take some getting used to, but I'd like to see a blind person trying this out.

Bringing in the Exterior Decorators

Article link: Bringing in the Exterior Decorators

This article is about a curator named Hugo Martinez hiring street artists and a design team to renovate and decorate his apartment.

This is such a great idea! I love that he is offering his own home open to the public, so that people can see the result of the outside being in. I also love that he himself is an inspiration to street artists, so that naturally, he would be open to the idea of having his home decorated in the same way.

Clever showerheads

This article is introducing "Evolve Showerheads," which are showerheads that stop the flow of water and wait until you are ready to get in.

I think the science behind this is very cool. This is a perfect example of where we are in technology, nowadays. However, I probably wouldn't use this; when I'm waiting for my water to heat up, I'm right next to the shower, not in another room. I wouldn't need the showerhead to tell me when my water is ready, because I would be there anyway. But I'm sure a lot of other people will find this great.
